[Lowfer] WSPR Weak Sig vs. QRP

[Eric NO3M]

Weak signal and QRP are not necessarily synonymous.  Weak signal 
is subjective to the target area for decodes.  Higher ERP can be 
more useful for propagation study, ie. observing characteristics 
of QSB, where lower power would just result in no decodes during 
drop-outs and provide nothing quantitative, but higher power 
would potentially show an actual dB variation compared to peaks.
